Just caught up on today’s news. In short: men are trash. Not just the abusers but those who’ve been enabling and protecting them. It’s impossible to determine the validity of every accusation but where there is smoke there is fire. I’m encouraging all women to speak their truth.

If your issue is with the “men are trash” quote, you’re taking the bait. Clearly it’s not all men. It is enough men where there needs to be a massive reform within the entire group to make change. We, as men, need to hold ourselves accountable as a whole; not just individually.

And lastly, it is vital to attempt to remain neutral but take accusations seriously. Never diminish any one side and seek more information. Not every incident will have proof. The absence of proof does not mean someone is lying. But false accusations are also real.
